That's one model, sure, but it is a simple model, it has been explored quite thoroughly over the centuries, and it seems to inevitably bring exploitation and tedium. Life is short and I have no desire to spend mine going over that well-trod terrain; I'd rather look for ways of using technology to disintermediate, to detransactionalize, to find better ways of making collective decisions and coordinating group effort which do not involve money or accounting and are therefore resistant to control and exploitation by gatekeeping institutions.
